Please provide well articulated answers to the following questions in a paragraph format. One paragraph minimum per question
Why do you wish to play this specific race: Because I find robotic characters interesting. They can act very different to human or humanoid characters in their ideas and how they respond. You can see that with me playing Alpha more than the other characters. However, there is only so much a stationbound can do and getting the malf-ai minion stamp is only fun so often.
Identify what makes role-playing this species different than role-playing a Human: The biggest difference is that they are logical over all else. When it comes down to it, they emulate emotions instead of having 'real' ones and only work on action/reaction. That is very different with how characters act that are truly alive and is always interesting to explore. There is also the difference of being either an owned asset or having painstakingly brought their freedom, only to still be only a second class citizen that can get dismantled for minor crimes.
Character Name: Iapetos
Please provide a short backstory for this character, approximately 2 paragraphs
Iapetus is one of 5 medical IPC's that Nanotransen brought on the 26 ebruary 2458 and stationed on the NSS Canes Venatici. His adjustment time to get used to his dutys and work was small, thanks to his shell and programing of a doctor.
Sadly, he has characteristics that most people would claim to be negative. While he is respectul, he is also very judging about his patients and often talks down on people for making mistakes. This has lead to people seeing him as a nuisance to work with. The CMO finaly had enough of it in Juli 2460, but because of him being an owned IPC, it was either a choice of dismantling him or assigning him to a different station. The choice has been made for the later and he was transfered to the NSS Aurora shortly after.
What do you like about this character?
He's an IPC that understands that people can get hurt but doesn't understand that it is painful or that humans are slightly more squishy. He knows that he has to give people that black out medication for this 'pain' thing but doesn't know exactly why. I effectively want to play him as someone that doesn't get it but fixes those people anyway.
How would you rate your role-playing ability?
Fairly ok, but sometimes I write something in a wrong way (Using I/me instead of a term used for an object for example). I'm also not that good when it comes to aggressive antagonists, but that is duo to experience more than anything else.
Notes: - My first application, so there might have been some mistakes here and there. - I plan on playing him as both paramedic and doctor, depending on the crew manifest.
